WALKING WITH DINOSAURS: The 3D Movie Dinopedia

BBC
Book Number: 82835
Product format: Hardback

The BBC enjoyed huge success with the realism, excitement and attention to detail to bring to life and put under the microscope just how dinosaurs existed in a world before our time. What other species coexisted with them? How did these enormous reptiles grow and evolve? In this big photographic book, there is another dimension to enjoy if you pop on some 3D glasses (not included) to get an extra special effect on some of the images which can be enjoyed (with or without glasses). See the Oviraptorosaur with its long blue neck, the Chirostenotes where fragmentary fossils have been found of its bones in western Canada, the Dromaeosaurid which is the closest cousin to a bird, having a chicken-like appearance with fancy coloured wings. We now know that birds evolved from dinosaurs long before dinosaurs became extinct and the oldest known bird fossil is still the iconic Archaeopteryx which is about 150 million years old, from Late Jurassic Germany. Mesozoic birds were common and diverse and some even had wings on their legs like the Microraptor. Meet the cast behind the camera like Scott Sampson an American Palaeontologist and consultant who provided information on appearance, behaviour and movement of the dinosaurs and the other scientists from around the world who shared the fruits of their research on this magnificent series. Now in book form for us to enjoy again and again, 96 pages packed with colour illus.
